Partly granted
The Board granted an increased 30 percent disability rating for a right shoulder disability beginning on March 20, 2020, and denied a rating in excess of 20 percent prior to this time.
The deciding factor: The evidence established that the Veteran's right shoulder disability was manifested by limitation of arm motion midway between the side and shoulder level as of March 20, 2020, warranting a 30 percent rating. Prior to this date, the evidence only supported a maximum 20 percent rating.
